Yeah.
I can imagine that being a pretty different decision to opening oneself up to that 300 missile attack.
So that does feel like a pretty important cruxy debate.
Pushing on...
Let's assume that AI does enable states to find all of an adversary's nuclear weapons.
So like a proper splendid first strike.
Would we expect a state kind of with that capability to be able to impose its will on other states?
Yeah, yeah.
This point about the US kind of having an opportunity to achieve something like a decisive strategic advantage when it had nuclear weapons before everyone else did, and kind of not really doing anything with that advantage seems important to me.
Yep, that makes sense.
Okay, pushing on.
So far, we've assumed that AI evolves somewhat gradually.
So it's been moving quickly, but not at the kind of extremely, extremely fast pace that some people think it could move at.
So I think people who really think that AI could basically...
give one country a decisive strategic advantage by undermining nuclear deterrence, I think are mostly imagining this world where there's really fast or recursive AI takeoff.
So I guess where an AI system goes from subhuman level to human level to superhuman level in a matter of weeks or months.
How should we think about fast takeoffs in the context of nuclear deterrence?
Okay, so I guess I'm still curious.
You've kind of outlined all of these constraints that mean that even if AI is progressing significantly, it's still pretty difficult to get anywhere near a certain splendid first strike.
How many of those constraints still hold if we're talking about this super fast takeoff world?
